Blair down 25 pounds, 15 more to go

DeJuan Blair has chosen to keep the media at arm’s length following the summer of his discontent, speaking in general terms about being in the best shape of his life but declining to offer specifics.

It took an inside job, from Spurs.com’s Ken Rodriguez, to prise the details from the suddenly svelte Blair – Down from 290 to 265 in weight and 44 to 4o in pants size. And he doesn’t plan on stopping there:

“My goal is to get to 250…I’m feeling a lot better about myself. I’m a lot quicker. I don’t get as tired running up and down the court.”

Interestingly, Blair said his fitness regimen began last spring, even as his playing time evaporated in the postseason. While rumors persist that he remains on the trading block, Blair said he’d be happy to continue his physical renovation where its started.

“I’m feeling a lot better about the team, about my family, about everything,” he said. “If I could stay in San Antonio the rest of my career that would be wonderful. I love it here.”
